My first week in the office consisted of 4 days onsite, and one working from home to deliver a vision statement as a result of the meetings in the first four days. I am already controlling my own working practices and methods of delivery and have the mandate from the client to do so.
Reading the wording carefully it seems the point is simple. They are actually going after the very sort of thing that IR35 was trying to stop.
But IF you are an independent freelancer thinking about how you run your own business and behaving like a supplier rather than the sad mug that is found sat next to the permies at lunch trying to accrue flexitime, then you will be perfectly able to work outside IR35 while assuring the client that you are fulfilling your legal tax obligations and ironically paying the full amounts of tax.
